Download the PayByPhone app, the meter should have a location number (7912 in your case) that you can input if the machine isn't working and can pay that way.
Takes the guesswork out of paying for parking at confusing places like that.
I use this app to park in all city of Winnipeg street parking spots and all impark lots. Look for the code on the parking pay machine or signage. Plug the code into the app and pay with your credit card. Simple.

have you heard about PayByPhone? You register your license plate with the service and when you park just pay via the app. This way, no more stolen stickers and when parking enforcement comes by they check your plate to see if you have time at that spot.
Sure its called Pay By Phone in the app store:
